Special features: This limited release of 1,691 bottles matured for 27 years in ex-bourbon casks before receiving a finish in Oloroso sherry casks. The long aging combines fruity and woody nuances with a rich sherry note, creating a complex tasting experience.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: Inviting aromas of pralines, caramelized almonds, and cocoa powder, rounded off with stewed fruits, Manuka honey, and sweet cinnamon.
Palate: Creamy layers of Swiss chocolate and warm caramel blend with sultanas, tobacco, spiced apples, and warming wood spices.
Finish: Wonderfully rounded with notes of dates and chocolate cake, finishing with espresso and roasted nuts.
Distillery/Bottler: Glencadam is one of the traditional whisky distilleries of the Scottish Highlands. Founded in 1825, the house places particular emphasis on careful aging and selective finish selection to enhance the character and complexity of the whiskies. The focus is on a balanced ratio of fruit, spice, and cask finesse, as this 27-year-old Reserva de Jerez impressively demonstrates.
